    "content": "It is also important to note that it is not just learning institutions that require land to be compulsorily acquired. We have other Government facilities which are coming up. In Tharaka Constituency, we have a designated Government project known as the High Grand Falls Dam, which is supposed to benefit the counties of Tharaka Nithi, Kitui, Tana River, Garissa and others. Land is earmarked for compulsory acquisition. The citizens are absolutely worried as to whether they are going to be compensated. I have explained that the Government cannot take land from citizens without compensating them, but it is that mechanism which is not in place, which is actually making the citizens worried. It is, therefore, important that we have the mechanism in place not just for learning institutions, but also for land acquired for other public purpose. Therefore, I support the Motion."
